The sketch explains itself: Get two
mud sills, oak, or 10 feet long and Is or
20 inches in diameter. Hew one side and
cut mortice in center of each. Lay one
on each side Of stream, hewn side up, with
top about level with low water mark.
Next set two posts in the mortices. These
should be high enough to allow the gate
to be hoisted above high water mark.
Then frame stiff pole on top Of these
posts, first squaring two Sides Spike
braces on the down stream side of the
posts, to mud SILL and board up the space
to post and sill tight, to keep hogs from
creeping between gate and post The
gate is made by mailing strips on 2x4
piece of scantling, or using light iron rods
braced by stiff wire, as shown in cut.
Hang the gate by chains with hook at one
end. Hook on about two feet from each
end of gate, and one in the middle. Bore
holes through the t0p log to pass chains
through, and put IN iron bolt or pin
through link. The gate must swing
clear of posts and bank You can raise or
lower this gate at will, to allow drift, ice,
etc, to pass through.

SPLICE GRAFTING-WHIP GRAFTlN6.
In grating, as in budding, the princi-
pal object is to increase the varieties that
cannot be produced with certainty from
seed. Grating is also performed to fruit
a new variety. In this latter case a cion
inserted in branch of q bearing tree will
produce fruit oftentimes the second year
from the graft, while il the same cion had
been put on n young Seeding it would not
have fruited perhaps in ten years.
Stocks may he of any age from seed
1ings to old trees. Cions are usually shoots
of the preceding years growth. These
are cut in autumn after the fall OF the
leaf or In winter, and are preserved in q
dormant state until wanted for use. Cions
should not be cut in very cold weather,
but with this exception they may be taken
from the trees at any time between the
falling Of the leaves in autumn and the
swelling Of the buds in spring. They are
better If cut few weeks previous to
using, though the apple and pear have
been grated with success with cions taken
off at the time the work was done.
Splice grating is the simplest form OF
grating. The root or stock is cut across
at an angle near the collar, the cion at q
like angle or slope and the two fitted and
bound together. tSee first cut.) This
method is much used with stocks OF small
diameter.
Whip grating lsee same illustrationl Is
a modification of splice grating, differing
from the former in the splitting or tongue
ing Of the stock and cion midway on the
sloping cut of each, thus increasing the
extent OF surface brought into contact
when the pieces are fitted into each other
and bound together with yarn or bast

Timely Suggestions for the Month-De-
stroying Canlscr worms-Treatment Of
Girdled Trees-varlous Modes Of Graft
ing Explained.
For best results in grating there must
exist close affinity between stock and
graft. As rule all gratis succeed best
on trees of their own species or those
closely allied to them. When perfect de-
velopment as regards size and duration
is desired, stock of a similar nature to
the graft should be selected, as an apple
Seeding for an apple and pear saedling
for pear If, however, dwarf trees, which
come into bearing very young, are required,
then an allied species of slower growth
may be employed for the stock, or If the
soil and climate be unfavorable stock
adapted to the soil, or one which by its
harder roots endure the cold, can be Sc
lected. in many cases the peach and
apricot are grated with beneficial results
on the plum, and the pear on the ounce,
but an apple is never grated ON a peach
or a cherry ON pear. The pear, apple,

more or less successfully worked upon.

up the trunk They begin this with the
first warm days of spring, weeks before
buds and leaves are ready to put forth
1t is quite common for them to do this
while the nights are cold enough to harden
tar in vessels around the trees intended to
obstruct their progress. This old method
has therefore given way to spraying the
trees with water in which London purple
or Paris green has been dissolved, thus
killing the worms after they begin to eat
1t requires very little poison to do this.
Too strong solution might burn the
apple leaves, which, when young, are very
tender.

Much has been said against the practice
of exposing fruit to the fumes of sulphur
during the process of drying. If sui
phured fruit endangers the health of those
who use it, or is unpleasant to the taste
or smell, then the practice ought to be
discouraged. But according to Professor
Green, of the Ohio experiment station,
there is no evidence that such is the fact
when sulphur is properly used.
